Lebanese are watching Israel’s upcoming election, but few expect change

A few weeks before Israel's elections, Hadi Nasrallah, a resident of Khiam, has only his pushcart left after his home was destroyed by Israeli bombing. Southern Lebanon, occupied by Israel, continues to face attacks, with nearly 9,000 deaths since 2023. Nasrallah believes that even if Netanyahu is defeated, Israel’s military policies aimed at Greater Israel will persist. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated, with attacks targeting civilian areas and about 6% of Lebanese territory along the border remaining occupied.
